Westglen is a vibrant community school that serves approximately 250 students with diverse learning needs. At Westglen, we are committed to creating a welcoming, supportive and challenging learning environment in which all students experience academic success and personal growth.

Using principles of Universal design for learning (UDL), staff is beginning to implement effective inclusive practices across classrooms that recognize that barriers to learning often exist within the environment, not the student. Teachers, parents and specialists work together to identify supports and services that match student strengths and needs and facilitate quality teaching and meaningful learning opportunities for all. Access to technology plays a key role in our work and has made a significant difference for many students.
